Because Iran's Nuclear threat wasn't provocative enough...

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran's hard-line president called for
Israel to be "wiped off the map" and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday.



Can someone please tell the Iranians that a massive pre-emptive strike is just the kind of distraction the Bush administration would love right now? What the fuck? I mean, I understand the Arab fundamentalist states being less than chummy with Israel, but is their something I'm missing that calls for a renewed public commitment to it's destruction?
